• libgwyddion: libgwyddion/gwymathfallback.h is the preferred header to define the math fallback functions now, for compatibility libgwyddion/gwymath.h works too.
• libgwyddion: All the math fallback functions are public inline functions (not macros) named gwy_math_fallback_foo(), so it's possible to take their addresses if necessary.
• libgwyddion: Defining GWY_MATH_NAMESPACE_CLEAN before including gwymathfallback.h prevents the definition of unprefixed aliases such as cbrt for math functions not provided by the platform (gwy_math_fallback_cbrt() remains available). Use in the case of possible name clash.
